Budha Building aka Hans Timmermans

Budha Building is the brainchild of talented artist Hans Timmermans - a visionary creative who has spent the last 25 years creating edgy and diverse music with a truly unique feel. His sound is surprisingly diverse and incredibly appealing, combining powerful western influences with innovative electronic sounds and ethnic music, reflecting the artist’s international background.

Throughout the span of his eclectic career, Budha Building has been performing internationally, developing a unique approach to ethno/ambient electronic music with a truly personable feel. Hans has a very visual modus operandi, leading to very cinematic tones that might remind listeners of soundtrack work. The music is purely instrumental, with a very relaxing vibe.

While his recordings are often considered lush and detailed, his live shows are more unpredictable and exciting, often engaging the crowd and highlighting the interactions between the musicians on stage and the audience on the floor.

Recently, Budha Building set out to release a brand new album titled Purpose, which marks a significant step forward in the artist’s unique creative path. The textural and ambiance-filled sound echoes the work of composers and performers such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Alva Noto, Yann Tiersen and Amon Tobin. Between sparse melodies and sonic landscapes, Budha Building creates music that feels engaging and multi-dimensional.
